In the past, I've heard crazy horrorstories regarding the BAUM devices
stability.  A bunch of module cells falling out of the display
in a backpack.  I've also seen a vario once with about 10 of the
40 modules broken, for no apparent reason.  Has the quality of baum hardware
improved lately?  If not, I'd be very sceptic when buying baum devices.
